Description
Haoning Cui leads a large team setting fitness reference standards for Chinese heart patients in a 2026 multicenter study. Cardiorespiratory fitness, measured by peak oxygen uptake during exercise testing, guides risk calls, yet Chinese clinics borrowed standards from other populations. Records from 56,495 patients at twenty hospitals between 2018 and 2024 built age- and sex-specific percentiles. A separate group of more than six thousand patients tested how the bands predicted major heart events over about two years.
Patients reached only about three quarters of matched healthy adults' fitness on average, varying by sex in the reported ranges. Event risk climbed stepwise from high to middle to low fitness bands, more than doubling in the lowest band after adjustment. Event-free survival split clearly by band.
